Masai Mara National Reserve
Day 1Masai Mara National Reserve Masai Mara National Reserve You'll have an early morning drive to Masai Mara National Reserve. It holds on as one of the few places left on earth where wildlife still lives comparatively undisturbed, in the numbers that once roamed the plains and forests of Africa. As the northern tip of the vast Serengeti ecosystem, the Mara hosts the spectacular seasonal migration of many thousands of wildebeest, zebras and attendant predators. You'll arrive in time for lunch followed by an afternoon game drive. Dinner and your overnight stay will be at the campsite or lodge. Main Destination: Masai Mara National Reserve (Kenya) Best Time To Visit June to October (For general wildlife viewing) and July or August to October (For wildebeest migration) High Season June to October and December to March Best Weather June to October (Sunny, but not too hot) Wildlife in Masai Mara NR ElephantCommon GiraffeCommon LionCommon CheetahCommon ZebraAbundant WildebeestAbundant Show more BuffaloCommon HippoCommon HyenaCommon LeopardOccasional Black RhinoRare Wild DogVery Rare White RhinoNone Accommodation: Zebra Plains Mara Camp Mid-range tented camp located inside Masai Mara NR (Kenya) +12 Photos +11 Photos Meals & Drinks: Lunch & dinner (Breakfast not included) Drinking water (Other drinks not included) Day 2-3Masai Mara National Reserve Masai Mara National Reserve After breakfast, we will have a full day game drive with packed lunch provided.

On the way, you have an option to stop at the famous Olduvai Gorge, where Dr Louis and Mary Leakey made their discovery of the first man that walked the earth. After attending a short lecture describing the archaeological digs and geology of the gorge, you’ll have time to visit the small museum. It will be a long day of driving but the game drives in and out of the parks can be surprisingly incredible. Dinner and your overnight stay will be at the campsite or lodge.

Serengeti National Park to Ngorongoro Crater
Day 7Serengeti National Park to Ngorongoro Crater Serengeti National Park to Ngorongoro Crater On this day we suggest a very early wake up in order to do an early morning game drive (when the animals are more active) and see one of the best sunrises you'll ever witness. After the game drive, we will return to the camp for a rewarding brunch and then we'll proceed to Ngorongoro, the 8th Wonder of the Natural World. The crater spreads for 102sq miles and has 2,000 ft high walls, making it virtually Noah's ark and inhabiting almost every species of wildlife that is indigenous to East Africa. It's one of the very rare locations in the whole continent where you can witness the black rhino. The crater has a river, several swamps, a soda lake with a great concentration of flamingos, a forest and open plains. It's also famous for its elephants which are the largest in the world and have huge tusks. Ngorongoro Crater is truly a Wonder of the Natural World. You will reach Ngorongoro in time for a sundowner. There is a possibility to upgrade your accommodation level.
